Abstract
A case of fatal spontaneous gas gangrene due to Clostridium septicum septicaemia associated with an occult rectal malignancy is presented. This condition has a rapid progression and a high mortality even with prompt treatment. It is important that the radiologist considers this diagnosis in an appropriate clinical setting to allow rapid instigation of appropriate therapy.Entities:
